HOU SE OF LORDS . —Lord Krogoham presented a petition from the delegates of the Metropolitan Trades in London , from the prayer of which hc utterly * dissented . ¦ . _ , _ HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Lord Jobx _Rvssbis , s ave notice that he should this day move that the House eo into committee for the purpose ofcon-« _, _ipr - .-. resolution proposing to grant a sum of
money out of tbe consolidated fund with the view oi enahuW landholders in Ireland to « n 1 _!^ _* _"" _* tates , and also to defray the cost of arterial and other drainage , for the improvement of landed propertiesin that country . . _^ Marriage Biu _.-Thc order of the day for the second reading of the Marriage BUI , having been _^ Mr . Goulbcrs rose and moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months . In submittn _*; that motion , the right hon . gentleman said he had imposed a painful task upon himself , opposed as he found himself on a question of religious _obhjsitions to nianv "persons for whom he had the
highest respect , -and not the less because ne was ypposed to the mover of the measure . The question was one which parliament could scarcely deal with in _asatHfeeto-t-y manner , being a religious one , and net calculated for discussion in a popular assembly . The whole question of tee law of marriage was involved iu the present debate ; for though it was true that his tig ht hon . friend had limited the ob-ect of his bill to two particular cases , namely , the marriage of a deceased wife ' s sister or niece , yet it was impossible to limit the future effects of the bill if it should _beaassed into a law . A long discussion then took p lace between JUr . Haggett _. _Mt . Krr Sevmer , Mr . R _* _Paimer , who opposed the measure , and Mr . M . Muses , Lord _Bhackst _, Earl of _Aeosdel and Surrey , and Mr . Cockbvrs , _who-f-upported it , when tbe debate was adjourned to Frr oay . ™ . -,- j Comsittee os Savikcs Basks . —The adjourned debate-on the nomination of the committee on
savings banks was then resumed , and after some discussion on the name of 3 £ r . Grogan being put , that of Hr George Clerk was proposed instead , on which question the House divided , when there appeared for Sir G . Clerk 123 , for Mr . Grogan 81—majoritv , 42 . The next name was that of Mr . _h . A . Hamilton , when that of Mr . Hemes was proposed in lieu thereof ; the House again dividing , - when there appeared for Mr . Hemes 120 , for Mr . Hamilton 61—majority , 59 . ,... _-, , ,, 3 ffi _** . _Revxoldb said , after these divisions he should not take the sense of the House on the remaining names , but felt that his constituents had a just _lin-fet to complain . As the committee would now he not his , but- that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , the eyes of the House and the country would be more steadily fixed upon it . The remaining names of gentlemen who were on the committee of last year were then agreed to ; when -aJtt some further business the House adjourned .
FRIDAY , Mat 4 , HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The House went into -committee of the whole House , on the subject of Advances for Land Improvement and Drainage ( Ireland ) . The Chaxceixoh of the Exchequer observed , that having made provision for the distress now so prevalent in some districts in Ireland , it was time to devise measures for thc permanent improvement of the country . The great desideratum in Ireland was employment for the people . Forthe purpose Of furnishing them with emp loyment he first _proposed that further advances should be * nade under the Land Improvement Act , these advances being such as admitted of the smallest government interference , and least impaired
the relations subsisting between landlord _artenant . The amount applied for under the act , was £ 3 , 074 , 000 . The amount authorised to he _ad-TEUced by parliament was £ 1 , 500 , 000 , The application had , therefore been for double the amountsanctioned hy parliament . The amount sanctioned by the government under the app lications was about Xi ; -540 , 000 . Of this sum a portion had heen returned , leaving the sum sanctioned by the government , and borrowed under tbe act , at £ , 145 ) 1 , 000 . Ahcat £ 9 , 000 were thus left of the sum sanctioned by -parliament . Of the amount sanctioned , the sum already issued was £ 548 , 000 . This left-yet to be issued , as a fund for the _employmeat-of labour for-the next four years , the sum of £ 80 * 2 , 000 . To this latter sum he now proposed to add a further ad-¦ r _-ace of £ 300 , 000 , making the whole sum to be available for the future employment of labour under _the-Land Improvement Act , £ 1 , 252 , 000 . He also
proposed to make some further advances for the purpose of arterial drainage . The sum which he thought could be advantageously expended in this way this year was about £ 270 , 000 . It would he-recollected that , by virtue of an act passed last year , he was impoweredto re-issue £ 100 , 000 of the £ 360 , 000 repaid of advances already made . With this sum in hand , re-issuaMe under the act _alludetlio , he would onlvnow ask the committee to advaace £ 200 , 000 of the £ 270 , 000 , wMeh might beadvantageously expended in this way . To sum * ap , _^ 3 _ierefore , his * proposal was to make a further _advance of £ 300 , 000 under the Land Improvement Act ,. _« nd of £ 209 , 000 for the further prosecution of arterial drainage . The right hon . g entleman concluded-by proposing resolutions in conformity / with the proposition submitted by him . After some discussion the resolutions were agreed tO ,. sc i the adjourned debate oa the Maeihage BiiL was _tbeni-ssumed , by
Mr . Boxbdbt , who spoke at seme length in fa-• _voor ofthe bill . Mr . Hope followed , in opposition to it . Sir George Grey _, stated the reasons which indueed lam to vote for the second reading ofthe BUL Sir R .

Til _VUES _—Bbcial Assaw-t . —T . / _iflfflRs Fleming , a _tallfrishman , a boiler-maker , . * a brought before Mr _YSrcharged with un _aswult and biting . _a woman named EI & _Bripm , \ rhc , it w as stated m rhc _" arlypartoftheuay > was in the London Hos-£ _Ja _r _tate Of grc-. . / suffering and the prisoner Ead conSMuently _^ _een remanded till fiveoclock . The complinant then appe ar _« J _/^ . _« - _«« up and said she had conabited with the prisoner ten _SsTand that he had lately commepced illusing her On Saturday night he came home very 3 hVtoxicated , andafterV had abused her lay down on his bed . and when he was apparcntlrasleep she prepared to go to bed , and was just about to lie down by his side when he suddenly made a bite at her throat , and she screamed out - 'Murder ,
being in great agony . She put her right arm up to save her neck , and force his teeth from her neck _, when he seized her arm with his teeth and bit a piece rinht out of it . He then said that he would _¦* finish ' her before morning . She got from him and ran out of thc house . The poor woman added that her " husband" was not in his right senses when intoxicated . —The Foreman of the works the prisoner is employed at , said , the prisoner was a good workman and very industrious , but most outrageous when in liquor . —Mr . Yardley : Ib it a fact that the prisoner has bitten a piece of flesh out of the complainant ' s arm ?—Gilligan , police-constable 185 H , said it was so ; and the peop le in the hospital declared the bite was " more like that of a horse than a human being . — -The comp lainant bared her arm :
it was in a frig htful state , a large piece ot flesh having been torn from it . —The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had been done , and hoped the magistrate would overlook it . —Mr . Yardley said he could not , the assault being a most savage one , arid most abhorrent to hitman nature . He did not know that he was quite right in disposing of the case summarily , but at all events he should convict in the full penalty of £ 5 , and in default of payment commit the prisoner to the House of Correction for two months . LAMBETH . —The Bev . John George Hounsfield , chaplain to the Earl of Airlie , and who stands fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court , on a charge of obtaining £ 200 from Mr . Masters , a meat salesman , by false representations , was brought from Horsemonger-lane Gaol for the purpose of putting in the required sureties to appear and take nis trial—Mr .
Xewten , the barrister , appeared on behalf of the prisoner , and tendered as bail for his reverend client Sir Robert Price , of II , Stretton-street , Piccadilly , and of Foxlcy , Herefordshire ( one of the magistrates for that county and M . P . for Hereford city ) , and Mr . Henry Dick Woodfall , of 14 , Great Dean ' syard , Westminster , pririter . —A clerk to the solicitor for the prosecution said that the names of the parties tendering themselves as bail for the prisoner had not been given in until a late hour on Saturday evening , and tho time for inquiry was therefore so short that the understanding was that the gentlemen should not present themselves before his worship before four o clock . —Mr . Norton said , he was perfectly _satisfied ' with the solvency and respectability of the gentlemen offering themselves as bail , and their sureties having been taken in £ 100 each , and the prisoner ' s in £ 200 , the latter was discharged from custody .
CLERKENWELL . —Late Robbery at St . . Pancras VEsrni * Room . — William Jackson , a portly looking man , six feet hig h , was brought before Mr . Combe , charged at the instance of tho board of directors of St . Tancras parish , with having committed a burglary in St . Pancras Workhouse , and stealing twenty sovereigns and £ 155 in silver . The prisoner , who had been a patient in Guy ' s Hospital , with a broken leg , ever since February last , was brought to the court in a cabriolet , and was supported into the presence of the bench hy the officers with the aid of a pair of crutches , and his foot in a sling sus - pended from his shoulders . He appeared to suffer great pain , looked -rery pale , and was allowed a seat in a chair near the space allotted for solicitors . Mr . Howartb , the barrister , attended on the part of
the parish to conduct the prosecution . —Mr . Combe asked the prisoner if his health was sufficiently strong and restored to have the case proceeded with ?—The prisoner replied in the afiirmative , but he would prefer a postponement as he expected Mr . Huddlestone , the barrister , whom he had retained to attend for him . After some desultory conversation it was resolved to take the necessary evidence to warrant the remand of the prisoner , when Mr . Howarth stated the case for the prosecution , which was a reiteration of circumstances which have already appeared before the public . It may be recollected that on the night of the 8 th of February the strong-room in the workhouse where the property had been deposited was broken into , and twenty sovereigns and £ 155 in silver were stolen ;
and on the same night the prisoner was found within some area railings near the workhouse wall , whero his cries for help brought assistance , and he was conveyed in a cabriolet to Guy ' s Hospital , Borough . On the following morning the robbery was discovered , some housebreaking implements were found in thc washhouse , and near the spot where the prisoner made the alarm were found some skeleton keys , a large pah' of list shoes , such as are used by housebreakers , and a dark lantern , < tc . There was little doubt that the prisoner was the' perpetrator of the robbery , ana having afterwards dropped from the workhouse wall fell within the railings and met with the accident to his leg , which was of a very severe description ; but
there was so much mystery about tne case tnat lor sometime a few of the parish functionaries were suspected , until a reward was offered for the discovery of the cabman who drove thc p risoner on the night ofthe robbery , and ofthe person who was attracted by the prisoner ' s cries and who assisted him over the railings into the cab . They were at length traced , and on the prisoner being visited by the officers he was identified as a returned transport . —Mr . Henry M'Gahey was called , and deposed that he is son ofthe vestry clerk of St . Pancras , On the night ofthe 8 th of February last he deposited £ 155 in silver and twenty sovereigns in a box in a drawer in the strong-room . On the following morning tho cashbox was found empty on the floor , having boon forced open , aud the property was missing , —Mr , Joseph Lye . compositor , ofthe
Metropolitan-buildings , St . Pancras-road , deposed , that at about twelve o ' clock on the night of the 8 th of February last he was passing near St . Pancras Workhouse when he heard cries for help , and discovered the prisoner within some iron railings leaning with his back against the wall . He begged of witness to help himoverthe railings . Witness asked him , '' What was the matter ? " and helped him over . - He said that a mau had thrown his hat over the railings , and on clambering over to get it again he fell , and had broken his leg . Witness said , " I had better ring the Workhouse bell , and obtain assistance . " He objected to that , and begged of witness not to do so . lie said he had no business at that end of the town ; he bad been drinking with some friends , and wished to avoid exposure , and would thank witness if
he would put him into a cab . With great difficulty he did so , arid he was driven away . —Mr . Howarth : How high werethe railings?—-Witness : Pour or five feet high . —Mr . Combe : Had the prisoner the appearance of being drunk ? Witness : He had the appearance of having been -drinking a little , but he was not drunk . He was 'exceedingly agitated and excited . —Mr . Benjamin iLamberd , of Gray _' s-inn-road , one of the board of directors of St . Pancras parish , had accompanied the directors to tho strong-room on the morning of the robbery , and found a crowbar and screwdriver , & c ., ( now produced . ) The place had been broken into . —James Hale , an inmate pauper of the
workhouse _. _^ _waa-called , -but was-too _jh * unk to be examined j and was ordered to stand down ' . _^ Jeremiah Lockerby , 180 S , being called , said , he had every reason to believe that he should be enabled to produce . _sufficient evidence to substantiate the charge of felony against the prisoner if he was remanded —Mr . . . Combe asked the prisoner where he lived ?—Prisoner replied , at Shirley , oh the Bomsey-road , Southampton . —Mr . Combe said , he would remand him , _ae Jie was anxious to have his legal advocate present ,, who , it was said by Mr . Howarth , was unavoidably absent . He then remanded the prisoner , with" instructions that all the necessary evidence should be -brought forward at the next and final
examination . S 0 UTHfl _^ ARK .--0 BrATlI _* J * GM 01 JETBTFAL 8 EpRE iencbs . — _William Leigh and Augustus Crossly , alios _CowelJ , were brought before Mr . Cottingham for _re-examination , charged ' w _& h conspiring' to obtain ; money . by false pretences , as agents for collecting advertisements for the Watchman , Noncon formist , _British Planner , weekly _oev « papers . —Three eases were _gehjeted against Leigh ,, from which it ap--Beared that _hefdUWed the avoeafion of newspaper advertisement agent , and in that capacity had _solicited advertisements from three tradesmen for _insertion in the above J _jenrnals . He _sb *« l received a eommission _uponeach . _aivertisement _rSsom the newspaper in which it _appealed , and there , > s far as he was concerned , the _teansactioa should iizve been at an « ad . However , instead of adhering to that course of business , it was proved that Tue
subsequently _called upon each of we advertisers and received the amount of the insertions whieh he devoted to his own purposes without any _aatfawity fromthe parties to whom the money was due , and the discovery of this fraudulent mode of doing business was brought to light when the bills were seat in from the newspapers in question . —The necessary evidence to establish the charges against the pri soners having been produced , and their solicitor ( Mr . _Eoberts ) having contended that it was not sufficiently strong to come within the _: meaning ofthe act , the magistrate expressed his intention to send the easea for further investigation before another tribunal ; and in doing so , remarked that under the circumstances , as it was a bailable offence , he should adjudge the prisoners to enter into their _ovj-nrecogmBanees in £ 40 each , aid two sureties of * _J » , to answer-the-charges at the next' sessioris . -

BOW-STREET . —Charge or _Cosspuuct t 0 Ob-Tin * Monet from \ a _Clehotman . —Patri _^ H ay an d John Alves were brouglriv before V _^ jaraine for final _e-ammation , charged _^ ty conspiring to defraud the Rev . Cornelius y _^ uln , vicar of Haselor , near Stratford-upon-Ay _^ f money arid securities , under pretence of pr _^ ringfor him a chaplaincy to the Queen . It appeared at the last examination that the prosecutor having seen an advertisement in the morning journals respecting a clerical preferment , wrote to No . 2 , Cannon-row , Westminster , where letters were to be addressed upon the subject , and after several had been received by'him he came to town , and saw the prisoner Hay , who represented that he was related to Lord John Hay , who had the power of nominating to the appointment , the salary
Of which would be about £ B 0 a year . Alter , suo mitting his testimonials to the pmorter , a promise was made that they should bo laid before his lordship , and if sufficient money ( £ 600 ) was not at command , securities would answer the purpose , theresuit of which was that the prosecutor gave an order for £ 100 , with securities for the remainder , upon promise that the appointment should be gazetted in a few days , previous to which the prisoner demanded £ 23 10 s . as fees , which he obtained , and the prosecutor seeing that he was duped gave information to the magistrate , which caused the detention of the prisoner , who ' was in custody on another charge . —Mr . John Holroyd , secretary tothe United Kingdom Assurance Company , proved that about three years back , seeing an advertisement in the
morning papers from a person who could procure a secretaryshi p for siconsideration , after receiving a re-El y , came up from Yorkshire , and went to 127 , Leadenall-street , which was theplace referred to , and which was oalled the "Calcutta Gas Light and Waterworks Company ' s offices , " where he saw Hay , who signed himself P . H . Newall ; and after some conversation he paid a deposit of £ 25 for the situation in question . ' The other prisoner was frequently at the office inquiring for Hay , and left letters for him . He had also frequently seen them together in the streets , and gave his services gratuitously in the office for twelvemonths , but he never could obtain any salary or his money , although thcyhad often beeri promised to him . He had an interview with Alvesas Hay ' s friendupon the subject , arid
ulti-, , matel y brought an actio _^ for the recovery of his money . On cross-examination by Mr . Lewis , be said he had over and over again signed his name to documents as the secretary , and consulted Captain Denny as to the stability of the company , but there was no meeting of directors , nor did he ever see one at the office _^— Sarah Gale , a servant , proved that she was employed by Mr . Duke , the proprietor of So . 2 , Cannon-row , to clean the rooms , which were taken by a Mr . Wilmott _, who , however , disappeared after a few days . The prisoners then occupied the apartments , which were fitted up aa public offices . She constantly saw the prisoner Alves , who werit by the name of'Kevill . The prisoner Hay , who assumed the name of John Matthews , delivered her a paper on which were written the names of Hay , Piper ,.
and _Nevill , respecting the California _ooio-omce _, directing , she would take in all letter s directed to those persons . The Bign of the California Schemeoffice had been removeu from the first floor about three weeks back , and that of the Crown Colonial Emigration-office substituted . After Wilmott went away his son came there , and letters directed to Mr . Matthews were opened by Hay , she not knowing at the time that such was not his name . - _^ Lord John Hay being sworn , said , I never saw the prisoner Hay before , nor had I any communication with hint or any person of that namerespecting the chaplaincy promised to the prosecutor . I need scarcely add that he is not in any way connected with me or my family . —Mr . Griffin being recalled , said that the envelopes of the letters he had received
from Hay were impressed with the seal of the Adjutant-General's office , with the ' royal arms . —Serg eant Thompson produced a seal which was recently stolen from the Adjutant-General ' s office , which he found at 12 , Howly-street , : and which Hay said he had had in : _his possession for tho last ten years . The officer also produced letters and documents relating to several speculative companies—The Suburban Parcels Delivery Company , the City and West-end Railway ; and Terrace Company , the Great Western Railway of Bengal , the British Coasting Trade Company for the tection of and increasing the coasting mercantile marine , the California Emigration Scheme , the
General Canal Haulage Company , the Madras , Ai _* cot , and Trichnopoly Railway , and the Calcutta Diamond Harbour and George ' s-point Company . —Mr . Jardine , after perusing the documents , said they would afford the officer matter for further investigation , although they threw no additional light upon the charge before him . His worship then ordered the prisoners to be fully committed for the conspiracy , and the prisoner Hay to be detained for obtaining money and securities under false pretences . —The prisoners were then severally ordered to find bail in the sum of £ 500 , and two sureties in . £ 250 each , to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court . MAKLBOROUGH-STREET . — Am , em _*» sham
Burial Society . —A widow , named Darnells and her daughter , applied to Mr . Bingham under these circumstances : —For ten years her late husband had subscribed to a burial society , and had fully paid up his subscriptions . When her husband died sne sent to the secretary , and a person came and measured the body for a coffin , but nothing riiore was done . Four days after this she received a letter from the Eerson acting as secretary , telling her to bury the ody at her own expense ... Some weeks after this she applied to the secretary for the money due on the death ofa member . She was unable to get a farthing , and was put off with evasive answers . ; On making inquiry into the character of this so-called
burial society , she was informed that it was entirely managed by one person , and that it was more than doubtful whether she and others similarly circum _^ stanced , would ever get a shilling . She now wished to know if she could have a summons against the secretary , to compel him to show cause why he refused to pay the money , arid to prove that the society was respectable . —Mr . Bingham , having looked over the book of rules and regulations , said he was not empowered to inquire into the character of the Burial Society . In the book he found a rule , which required that all disputes should be settled by arbitration . He advised the applicant to call on the secretary to appoint an arbitrator . If this was not done , than he would issue a summons .
Sham Lying-in Institution , -r James Locke , senior , and his three sons , Edwin , James , and George Curtis , were brought up for further examination , charged with having conspired together with intent to defraud certain parties of sums of money by falsely pretending to apply the money towards the support of a charitable institution for affording medical assistance . to married females at the period of their confinement . —We gave the leading facts ef this case last week . _Several witnesses were now produced to prove the pa _' yment of money to the prisoner , on behalf of this fictitious institution . —Inspector Leslie said thc house was \ very meanly furnished . In the room used as an office there was a table and half a dozen chairs . There were no sure-leal instruments or appliances . There
was nothing to indicate that a lying-iri institution was held there . Witness found a book oontairiing subscriptions to the " linen fund , " with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent to it as a subscriber . ¦ Witness also found a letter from her Royal _Highness ' s secretary , Mr . Cowper , commanding her Royal Highness ' s name to be withdrawn from the prospectuses of the Royal Belgrave Lying-in Institution . Thc lettter was dated 1843 . Witness had obtained proof that the _prospectuses had been printed within the last two months , all of which bore her ; Royal Hignesses _' _s name as patroness . —Mr . Hardwicke asked the elder Locke if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge ?—The p risoner ( Locke sen . ) said , he had not seen his solicitor since Saturday-last ,-and then he . hadbocaadvised
to reserve his defence . . Since . then he had been informed by his daughter that she had received a letter frorii the Earl ot Carlisle , stating that he had : given full permission for his name to be used as a patron ofthe mstitution . With regard to the charge that there was no institution in existence , there were ten midwives present who could prove that they _^ had attended thousands of cases , and had received-hundreds of pounds frorii the institution . ' Soirie cases had been attended to within the last' fortnight . ' Then , as to the deficiency of funds , the midwive * declared that was to be attributed to the stir made by , Mr . Ryder in 1814 , Many subscribers had withdrawn their names , and others had not taken the trouble to make inquiries . . .. With reference to' the use made of the Duchess of . Kent ' s nameher Royal
, Highness had been a liberal supporter of the institution for many years , and hud the privilege of recommending thirty women to the institution . Her Royal' Highness had expressed much uatisfaetion with the proceedings of the institution . Her Royal Highries * ,: through Sir * J . Conrdy , had' expressed her great delight at belonging to suchari institution , but referred the applicant to the Secretary of State . Ecr Royal Highness had given £ 10 towards i the linen fund , and the midwives would prove that'boxes « f linen were provided for the women when confined . Having paid this £ 16 Her Royal Hi ghness _oeeame a life subscriber , and being entitled to ; six letters , Her Royal Highness ' s name was kept ori the sn & garjbers' list . Be considered it was a very hard case . He had devoted seventeen years of his time
anueaergies to the _institution , withoutproper remuneraoen . * A salary ihad been proposed by the committee , and-he had received an allowance of * iwo a-year , which did _nptieomnerisate him for tho services he had rendered to the institution—Mr . un _^ l _^^ J ° _^ _^ mandthe Prisoners . ' A letter , he _migJuVadd , had been put in to show that u £ _& _^ v _^ _T _^ _^^^ her name he had used it to ; collect subsc riptions . —The prisoner said at the tune the letter was received from her Boyd Highness , it was M tlie committee , who submitted it to legal peKonB . The result was , the committee found they _coii _^ riot \ _undo what they had done .

her Royal Highness became 8 ; patroness for life . It was . therefore , resolved that the name should be ke pt up as the patroness in 1832 ; but that the name should in future be left out of the prospectuses . This had hitherto been the case . —Mr . Hardwick said , ho should further remand , the case to ; Wednesday next , and then he would decide whether he would convict summarily or send the case toaiury . —A person here produced seventy-eight letters from midwives who had not been paid Another midwife produced twelve letters for which she could get no payment . The p risoners were then remanded . — A gentleman connected with the Pimlico Lying-in Institution , wished it to be known that the charity he represented had no knowledge of the Belgrave T . _vinc-In Institution . He believed the prisoners
had got subscriptions from . ; parties who believed thoy were subscribing to the Pimlico Institution . WORSttlP-STREET . — AxrEMrrEO Murder . — Thomas Webb , an elderly man , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammill , for final examination , charged with stabbing and cutting the throat of his wife , Sarah Webb , with intent to murder her . —Jane Taylor , the prisoner ' s niece , stated : The p risoner and his wife have lodged for some time time past in a back room of a house occupied by me and my husband in New Church-street ,. Bethnalgreen , and while in bed , between six and seven o ' clock on the morning of Monday , the 23 rd ult ., I was awoke by-a _struggling in the prisoner ' s room , and . a stifled noise in my aunt's voice . I iramediatclv < rot up and ran to' their door , which was
fastened inside , and while _endeavouringto force it it was flung back by my aunt , who rushed past me with the exclamation , " For God ' s sake , send for a surgeon , he has cut my-throat . " She was bleeding profusely from a frig htful wound in her neck , and inside the room was a large pool of blood at the side of the bed , and similar stains on other parts of the floor . The prisoner was pacing hurriedly about his room , and upon my reproaching him for attempting to murder my aurit , he said , _,- ¦¦ - She is dead , and it ' s all over now . " I immediately sent one of my lodgers for a doctor , and upon returning to my own room found my aunt sitting in a chair near the window , with the blood pouring in a stream from her neck , and I : tied handkerchiefs round her throat to prevent her bleeding to death . I then attempted to
fasten the door , to save myself from similar treatment , but before I could do so the p risoner forced it open , andthrusting in his head repeated that his wife was dead . His wife was at that time incapable of utterance and- apparently senseless , ; and Mr . _Meeres , the divjsonal surgeon , arrivedI soon after , and having dressed her wounds ordered her . to be carried up to bed . The prisoner and his . wife I believe , have always lived upon affectionate terms until about . a month ago , when he attempted to take his ; own life by cutting his throat , and was for some time in the London Hospital , over since which he has at times , from some cause or other , talked incoherently _.-r-Alfred Stokes , a brush-maker , said : I live in the same house with the prisonor , and having been , aroused by my wife , who had -been alarriied by screams of " Murder , "; I hastened down stairs , and found the prisoner stooping down wiping up a quantity of blood which had trickled from under
his door into the passage . I hurried out for a surgeon , and on my way . past theparloiirdoorsaw the prisoner ' s wifo in a chair , with her head hanging over the back of it , insensible , frothing at the mouth , and blood gushing out from a large gash in her throat . Upon again reaching the house my wife and several other woinen were screaming terrifically from the windows , and as it was evident the prisoner was not in eustody , I again started off for a constable to take him . After some further evidence , and on being asked if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge , the prisoner said that he felt satisfied his wife or sonie other person had given him something deleterious which had affected his head at the time he coriimitted the act ; and it being intimated that the surgeon who had had the care ofthe injured woman was not in attendance , the prisorier was formally committed for the coinpletion of the depositions .
Representation Of Sheffield. • Mr. Clark...
_REPRESENTATION OF SHEFFIELD . Mr . Clark has givenup . _allpreteris ' ioristo the representation of this boroiigh at present / and has retired in favour of Mr .

' Roebuck would exclude criminals altogether , and Mr . Clark would exclude them only whilst undergoing punishment for crime . The following resolutions were carried at a large town ' s meeting at Sheffield ,, on Monday evening last , at which Mr . Roebuck was present :- — ' « That Mr . Roebuck is a fit and proper person to represent this borough in Parliament . "That the best thanks of this meeting are due
to Mr . Clark for having withdrawn from the election in favour of Mr . Roebuck , arid the meeting pledges itself to support Mr . Clark as a candidate , in conjunction with Mr . Roebuck , at the first opportunity . " : "That Mr . Ward was requested to resign his seat by a resolution unanimously passed at a large public meeting , held in Paradise-square , on the 29 th of March , 1848 . " That a similar request was made by a resolution which was also unanimously passed at a large public meeting , held on the 17 th Of April , 1848 , in the same p lace . " . " That , on the 31 st of May , 1848 , a memorial was presented to Mr . Ward , calling upon him to resign , which was signed by 1 , 600 electors , being 500 more than had voted for him at tho last general election . "
"That Mr . Ward declined to accede to these requirements , and retained his seat Until he had secured for himself a permanent governmentappoint _* ment to a very lucrative office . " " That , at the first appearance of Mr . Ward amongst us , he professed himself to be a reformer of the great abuses of the State , a friend and advocate of the people ' s rights , and desirous of the retrenchment of the present ruinous national expenditure ; but , eventually , hc betrayed the trust reposed in him , allied himself with a government which has proved itself the most violent enemy ofthe people , the upholder ofthe most wasteful expenditure , arid the hater and betrayer of tho liberties of England and of Europe . " " That , under these circumstances , this meeting is of opinion that the conduct of Mr . Ward is deserving of censure , and that he has rendered himself unworthy of tho confidence of the people ofthe British empire whom he professes to serve . "

Inquest . —On Friday evening , at six o ' clock , Mr . William Payne , the coroner , and a jury assembled at thc City of London union-house , Canrion-strcet , for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances connected with thedeaths of Mr . Sophia Devcreux , aged 38 ; Emily Devereux , aged 15 ; and Lucy Devcreux , aged 7 , who lost their lives at the fire which occurred at No . 57 , King William-street , London Bridge . —The jury having been sworn , proceeded to view the bodies , which were lying in the porch of St . Maitiri ' _s-church . ' The two younger deceased were terribly burned . The elder female had her
right arm broken near the wrist , a fractured thigh , and an extensive fracture on the right side of the skull . After viewing the bodies / the jury proceeded to make an inspection ofthe premises , and upon their return to the inquest room the evidence was taken . —Jariies Bradley , one of the London fire-brigade , deposed that on arriving with his engine he made his way into the shop , which ho found on fire . He succeeded in extinguishing it by means of the branch which he carried . After the fire was got under , he entered the third floor , and on going to the window he trod upon the two deceased children . Mr . W . Tate , of Hunter-street , Dover-road , 8 aidthathe was the father ofthe elder deceased . On Wednesday evening he left the premises about five
or ten minutes past nine o ' clock . The shop was lighted with gas . A . girl , named Staples , partially turned the gas off before he went , but two burners were left alight . The girl Staples left before he did . There were bodies of hats in the back room which would ignite sooner than anything in the common way . There was a gas meter in the shop riexe the street , which was always turned off between ten arid eleven o clock . — -Mr . Leonard Sedgwick , surgeon , of St . Thomas ' s Hospital , said that when the elder deceased was admitted into that institution , she was insensible from concussion of the brain . She had several fractured Uiribs ' _, and expired in three-quarters of an hour after her admission . —Dr . Fuller , of King William-street , said that whilst sitting . 'iri his
parlour he heard the alarm , went out into the street and saw the premises ori fire . " Saw the eldest female falling , and if she had been a child he should have attempted to catch her . ' He saw the " two bodies found in . the ruins . _, They had died from suffocation . The youngest'child had told him that she asked permission of her mother , to' sit up to sup - pert -and when she was going to bed she dropped a spark on the floor , when her mother scolded her and told her if the house was to be burned she would lose her own life . The child then said ; "Mother , I do smellfirenow . . The mothersaid , "Oh , nonsense , child , go to bed . " She afterwards went up stairs again and returned , when she said , "Mother , lam Sure thereis _^ a fire . " She again seolded her and told her to go to bed , as there was no firo . She then
went up stairs and undressed herself , but again returned and made her escape through a window to the next house . ; Her mother , she stated , was the last person in the shop , r-Mr . Braidwood said he could not tell' how the fire occurred , but it commenced in the shop . — George Cooper said he was a fireman in the brigade , and whilst on duty , after the fire was extingusihed , he found that the gas was turned on full into the nlteter . —Mr . Hodgsale , the superintendent , and Mr . Todhunter , an inspector ofthe City police , said that the escape sheet was brought tothe spot in a few minutes , but by that time the parties had jumped out . — The coroner having summed up , the jury returned a verdict to the effect , that the deceased persons met their death by the fire , which arose from accident .
Suicide . —An inquest was held on Friday before Mr . Higgs , at 42 , Essex-street , Strand , on the body of Mr . Richard Dalton , aged 72 years , who committed suicide under the following circumstances;—It appeared that some years since the deceased carried on business as a hosier in the Temple , but had latterly resided with his sori and daughter in Essexstreet . He had been in a very desponding state for some months past , and a short time since his mind becam 6 so much impaired , that at intervals ho was considered insane , and he once made an atteimpt on his life by cutting his throat with a razor . Since
that period a young man had been engaged to be constantly in attendance upon him . On Wednesday morning last his attendant left the room , and during his temporary absence he closed the door and fastened it . When the attendant returned he was unable to obtain admission , and he knocked several times at the door but received no answer . The door was broken open , and on entering the room the deceased was found suspended by his handkerchief to a rail of the bedstead , — Verdict , " Temporary Insanity . "
Shocking Suicide . —On Friday morning , between the hours of six and seven , a middle-aged man , named Henry Ford , a ' compositor , in full employment on the Morning Chronicle committed suicide , by preci itating himself over the balustrade of Waterloo-bridge , his head striking with fearful violence in the descent against thc stone abutments of the bridge . His body was immediately recovered , but life had ceased to exist ; it was conveyed to the engine-house adjoining the church of St . Mary-le-Strand , where it awaits a coroner ' s inquest , The deceased had been drinking , but was not intoxicated , previous to his committing . the rash act . He has left a wife and four children to deplore his untimely loss .
Sudden Death of Mr . Horace Twiss . —This gentleman expired on Friday , between the hours of two and three o ' clock . Mr . Twiss , as a member and proprietor ofthe Rock Life Assurance Company , in which he took great interest , was at the annual meeting , held at Radley ' s Hotel , Bridge-street , Blackfriars , in the act of addressing the chairman upon the general management ofthe society ; and although he did not appear to be inthe least excited , he was seen to falter , and gradually sink , and ultimately to fall down in" his chair . Several of his friends present removed him from the room , but in the course of their doing so he expired without a struggle . Afr . Farr and other medical gentlemen were sent for ; but , on their arrival , it was found
that their assistance was of no avail . Thehon . gentleman had , for a long time , been impressed with the idea that he should , one day or other , die suddenly , ashe laboured under the frightful disease of ossification of the heart , and , strange to say , within two hours ofhis . death repeated the same fact . Sheffield Election . —The election took place on Thursday at ten o ' clock , and was conducted oh a spacious and commodious hustings immediately in advance of the enclosed urea of the Com Exchange . Precisely at ten o ' clock , the mayor and town-clerk having taken their places upon the hustings , Mr . Roebuck arrived and ascended the platform , accompanied by Mr . Fisher , _Air . Dunn , and other gentlemen , After tbe _usnal formalities had
been gone through , Mr . Fisher proposed John Arthur Roebuck , Esq ., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in parliament . The motion was seconded by Mr . E . Smith , and as there was no other candidate , the mayor declared Mr . Roebuck to be duly elected . The honourable and learned member then came forward , and was received with loud cheers , and returned thanks in a long and eloquent speech . Thanks were then voted to the mayor , and the proceedings terminated Thb _Ameged _Embebzlemem of _n-sa _' b & t < £ d , 000 at Leeds . —On Thursday at the Court-house , Leeds Mr . Peter Mann , late chief clerk of the Leeds Waterworks Company , was brought , up for further examination , ori the charge of having embezzled nearly £ 5 , 000 ofthe moneys ofthe company , since i
jccovuary , _* _j _iv ,. Home additional evidence haying been given for the prosecution ; Mr . J . M . Barrett addressed the bench on behalf of the accused . Mr . Carbutt said , that the evidence adduced did not go far enough to show that there was a fraudulent intent on the part of Mr . Mann in keeping back the money ; on the contrary , the . evidence whioh had just been given rather negatived the intent , for it went to show that on account of the large deficiency of £ 1 , 312 12 s . Id ., which occurred in 1847 , special payments had been made to a considerable amount , both in 1848 and 1849 . They , therefore / gave Mr . Mann the benefit of the doubts which existed in their minds , and considering that the fraudulent intention to embezzle was not sufficiently proved they should dismiss the case .
' Recapture of a Coxvicr . —Charles Lankey , one of tho prisoners who escaped from the Hebe , convict hulk ,. ori Tuesday morning , was recaptured on Thursdayat Barnet by two constables ofthe S division of police . . The other prisoner , Bradbury , is supposed to have been drowned .

Four years ago , this property would have commanded at least thirty years purchase . The depreciation in this property , - however , is much less in proportion than has been experienbeo in the south and west , or even in somemidlandl counties . There are further announcements of reductions of rents . Tho Earl of Stradbroke haa madean abatement of fifty per cent , to his numerous tenantry in-the counties of Tipperary and Waterford .

The President of the Republic , the members of the National Assembly , and corps diplomatique assisted at T _* Deum , which wag chanted on thc Place de la Concorde .
The FnE . _vcn Invasion of Italy . — The newar from Italy to-day is very important . The French government has received a telegraphic despatch , which announces that the French troops , to the number of six thousand , had arrived at the gatea of Rome , and that the triumvirate had opened negotiations with the ;; Commander-in-Chief fop their admission without opposition . The army had not met with the slightest - resistance anywhere . ¦ ' ' _^ ' - ¦ . - ' •' - The same telegriphic despatch brings notice that the Neapolitan army has taken possession of Ancona , ' and that the Austrians have entered Tuscany , _andT are marching on Io'horn . WAR IN HUNGARY . —Pesth has been taken nossscs _.-ion of by some battalions of Honveds and
_Hustars . They were received with frantic enthu » siasm , and crowds of young men from Pesth and the environs are hastening to enrol in the ranks of M . Kossuth's army . _.-..:. GERMANY . —Up to the 30 th , " order" reigned in Berlin . The Chambersof Saxony were dissolved by Royal decreeo . From Cologne we hear that the town council and the governor of the province are now at open variance , the former having positively refused to withdraw , at his demand , the invitation addressed by it to all the members of the town _, councils of the province to forward a de * _utatiftn . to this city , in order to discuss the present state of aftairs , and to express disapprobation of thc conduct of the present ministry .

State Of Trade. Manchtster.—There Was No...
STATE OF TRADE . Manchtster . —There was not much change in this _mnrket during most of last week . But little was done either in goods or yarns ; most of the sales were speculative , an <* the result . of exceeding low prices . Heavy goods have been bought at lower rates than at any time during the late depression . _ForeignImycrs having ceased to purchase , that ttcscnptloti of goods is thrown almost _exclusivelv upon tha Home market , and as many and heavy sales were made in the months of November and December , under the impression ; fhat a considerable advance was about to take Place , heavy goods have become quite a drug on the market . _. OuTuesday _, however , they we ' re held with more firmness , _theimpression haring _. _'for a few days , gained ground that they had reached the lowest point . Thore were considerably more _hitjuirics for light goods ; and , thoug h tw actual sides have not been very numerous , there' * decided improvement in feeling as regards the home " P _;* _„ ment of trade . The change in the weather is expected 10 operate favourably on the market _.
